Wow... but at least you were consistent with your plan. I think you were hit with a lot of bad luck also. Sorry bro.

How was any of this bad luck. You clearly should have known the risks involved when you made these picks.

Prior - ALWAYS injured, didn't know if comeback was possible or when it would happenHarden - also very injured star, but a lot of people bought in when he had a dominant spring trainingGagne - again more injury concerns Wood - huh? the spring training "wood might be closer" hype was outlandishLidge - While he still had 32 saves, 2006 was obviously a poor year, people had wheeler pegged to take over very quickly

Carpenter is the only pick I really sympathize with. Depending on where you got patterson and giambi they might have been decent picks but I doubt it. It might have been your plan to grab undervalued injury risks and thats a valid plan. But I bet you had to overpay for harden at the very least. I'd feel bad for you but you had to know what you were getting yourself into...

I guess anything after 200 is stupid to regret, but I made 6 picks after that and they were all dropped, pretty typical for a 14 team league though.

McCann in round 4 was too high. I should have taken Sheffield with that pick. Konerko in round 5 seemed like a steal and might still be ok. Harden was an injury risk so I guess a solid 10th rounder. Wood I should have known better.

I am in first in these league mostly due to the extremely good values I got on

Round 6 of a 15 team cafe league. Going into the round, I was looking at either grabbing my first starting pitcher or a power hitter and since I had Ichiro and Utley already I didn't really care about how low the batting average was. I narrowed the 3 choices down to Richie Sexson, CC Sabathia, and Cole Hamels. Needless to say I picked the wrong choice and ended up with Wainwright and Olsen leading my staff. Luckily I am in 3rd place, but I surely could have used that solid starting pitcher instead of Sexson and his 12 homers.
